The first peasant girl of splendid elegance

Chapter 11 Inquiries (2)
Leading them over, and finding a seat to sit down, Jun Xi greeted the woman who was busy wandering among the tables and said, "Sister, bring us six deep-fried dough sticks, three bowls of rice porridge, and a plate of pickled vegetables."

"Hey, big sister, wait a minute, I'll be here soon." The woman's voice was crisp and clear, she nodded at Junxie, turned around and delivered three bowls of porridge to a table, and went to work on them.

In just a few breaths, the woman brought up a small bamboo basket made of rattan and grass, with six fried dough sticks in it, followed by rice porridge and pickles, which were quickly brought up.

Jun Yao gave each of them a stick, and said, "Hurry up and eat, if it's not enough for us, don't starve to death."

Qiaoer opened her small mouth and took a bite, it was crispy and fragrant, which made her narrow her eyes happily, and said sweetly to Junxie: "Mother, it's delicious."

"Eat more if it tastes good." The passing woman laughed when she heard Qiaoer's words, looked at Qiaoer's cute little face, and replied in a playful voice: "Big sister, this is your daughter, right?" , so handsome."

"Thank you, big sister. It might be the first time I'm eating it, so I want it to be fresh." Junyi put some pickles for Qiaoer and put it in her bowl. Wuyou is very proficient with chopsticks, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

The woman looked at Jun Yao calmly. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, she greeted her and sent her off. It felt like she had seen many people. This little lady is not like those women from farmers. You Looking at the way she eats, it's like no lady can compare, it's as beautiful as a painting, although no lady has ever come to her breakfast shop.

"You can eat with confidence. The oil here is very clean. It's not overnight oil. Just look at the business here. We want to be repeat customers, especially these little dolls. We can't let them It spoiled my stomach." The woman is obviously a talkative person, and after a few rounds, she became familiar with Jun Yao, and even sat at Jun Yao's table when she was not busy, talking to her, and occasionally Wipe Qiaoer's mouth, even after they finished drinking the rice porridge, they gave each of them a bowl for nothing.

Through a simple conversation, Junxie knew that the elder sister's surname was Zhang, and the fried dough stick in front was her man, whose surname was Xu.

Both of them are natives of Qingshan Town. The Xu family used to have a small amount of savings, but because Mr. Xu was seriously ill all the year round and stayed in bed for several years, the family's fortune was almost wiped out, and they left.Afterwards, the husband and wife opened this breakfast shop for five years. Although they were not rich and wealthy, they still had a lot of surplus after food and clothing.

Jun Yao is a very shrewd and calm person, and he can tell a person's temper through his conversation and eyes.

And this big sister Zhang is obviously a carefree character, with the feeling of a strong woman.

This made Junxie still have a good impression of her.

"Sister Zhang, how many restaurants are there in this Qingshan Town?" She waited for the busy time for breakfast to pass, and called Mrs. Zhang to ask.

Mrs. Zhang didn't think too much about it, and said, "There are six restaurants, but the best one is Fuyun Restaurant. I heard it's a branch, and the owner of Fuyun Restaurant is from the city."

"Does that Lucky Restaurant have many customers?" Only when there are customers can her game be raised in price.

"A lot, why not a lot?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang was full of admiration, picked up the teapot and poured it for the two of them, and said in a low voice: "If you want to talk about this Fortune Restaurant, since it opened in Qingshan Town seven years ago That day, it was almost full every day. Even during the holidays, the big households in the town would send servants there to order food. From noon to night, there was almost no free time. It was originally in front of Fuyun Restaurant, opposite One is called Changsheng Restaurant, and its business is still good, but since I came to this restaurant from the opposite side, it has almost run out of food, and it closed down after half a year." After finishing speaking, he still whispered to Junxie's ear mysteriously. Pan, said cautiously: "I heard that the boss of Changsheng couldn't bear it, and even asked someone to smash the scene, but the next day, all the troublemakers were arrested by the county master, and each person was beaten forty. , Ouch, even though I have never seen that bloody scene, it scared me to death when I heard my man talk about it."

Mrs. Zhang spoke in great detail, and Jun Yao gradually had her own measurements in her heart.

The Fortune Restaurant, obviously, has a very strong backing behind it, and a restaurant, in such a small town that is not too big, is still full of guests after seven years, which is enough to show its means and influence.

After thinking about it secretly, Junmai decided to go directly to Fuyun Restaurant later to sell her game.

Afterwards, Jun Yaoyou and Zhang talked about the current prices of cloth and cotton, and then rice, oil and salt. After all, in her memory, there is no data about these. In the past, their mothers ate three, It's all the three acres of wasteland in my own home. If I can't make ends meet, I can buy some from the homes of the villagers. Although they don't like their mothers and daughters, they are still happy to exchange the surplus grain for some money.

Mrs. Zhang is worthy of being a person in Qingshan Town. As soon as Jun Yao asked, she opened her mouth to talk about the market price in the town.

Rice costs fifteen renminbi a catty, fine yellow rice costs [-] renminbi, white flour is relatively cheap at ten renminbi, and cornmeal costs six renminbi.

Jun Yao is thinking of making three sets of quilts, after all, she still likes the feeling of sleeping alone, and now she is holding a little bun in her arms, although she knows that she sleeps honestly, she is also afraid of what might happen.

A mattress costs about three or four catties of cotton, while a quilt costs six or seven catties.A catty of black cotton costs 35 renminbi, while white cotton costs as much as [-] renminbi. If the cloth is pulled, three sets of quilts will cost nearly one tael of silver.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jun Yao who was silent, and at that demure and soft face. She just thought that this was a young lady, a young lady who had been pampered and pampered for a long time. The sense of disobedience of silk and satin.

Qiaoer and Wuyou each had two deep-fried dough sticks, two bowls of rice porridge, and two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes given to them by Mrs. Zhang. Their stomachs were so eager to tear their clothes that they were lying on the table contentedly digesting food. .

Looking at the sky outside, it was about seven or eight o'clock, and the two chatted like this for an hour.

Only then did Jun Yao bid farewell to Mrs. Zhang, got up to settle the accounts, and led the two children to follow the direction Mrs. Zhang said.

Seeing the back of her walking away with her two children, Mrs. Zhang stood beside her man and murmured: "You say that Mrs. Jun is so different. She says she is a villager. Auntie, I don’t think it’s a village girl, she’s obviously a fairy.”

Xu Daliang didn't know what other women were like, and his own daughter-in-law couldn't see them all day long, but he still cleaned the dishes by himself, nodded and said: "I haven't seen a fairy before."
